H.R. No. 1351
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The beautiful beaches of Galveston represent a
renowned recreational resource for the citizens of this state and
for visitors from around the world; and
WHEREAS, Galvestonians and tourists alike flock to these
beaches each year to participate in a variety of enjoyable outdoor
activities, including swimming, fishing, body surfing, and
sunbathing; and
WHEREAS, The aquatic environment, however, presents an array
of dangers, but these potential perils can be effectively managed
through increased public awareness and the vigilance of
professional lifeguards; and
WHEREAS, Beachgoers should follow these simple rules: never
swim alone, always swim near a lifeguard, never drink alcohol
before swimming, respect the power of the surf, and learn to swim;
and
WHEREAS, To increase public safety, an annual reminder of the
joys and hazards associated with the aquatic environment is most
appropriate at the commencement of the busy summer beach season;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas
Legislature hereby recognize May 19-26, 2003, as National Beach
Safety Week in Galveston and commend the many individuals who
contribute to the safety of beachgoers during the summer beach
season.
